watched on Iplayer, I really enjoyed it, back to form.

well if the stars are unecessary then they can just retire them due to ill health / kill them off and start again with some ex Bill / Eastender stars. I can think of a few that would do a good job.

The power of the writing will shine through, of course if the quality of some of the recent episodes is anything to go by it will pan as soon as the 'talent' leave, I assume Denis has alimony to pay.

Yes, I've got one of those.

Don't dream about it. It'll die.

Get yourself one of JVC's D-ILA projectors. Youll suspend all the disbelive you need when you are watching on a 10foot screen in your living room.

Yes, I've got one of those. It's hooked up to my Media PC as well as my home cinema. I use it as my wall-sized computer screen with a wireless keyboard and mouse some of the time. They're fab.

I find I can't watch most dramas or films now. I don't know whether I've just hit that age where I can't suspend disbelief in the way you need to in order to enjoy that sort of medium, or whether it's a feature of the internet having come along and replaced the boob tube for my generation as the timewaster of choice.

Watched Paranormal Activity 3 the other night and needed new pants afterwards. Me and the Mrs were actually holding onto each other at one point, lol. That was of netflix so not even HD. Proves what i always said is not the quality of the picture but the size that matters! A fair quality DVD image is plenty to give your eyes loads to feed. Though I have to say HD does look really good.

Been waiting years for a PJ with good contrast and quiet fans. Hadnt realised they've been out about 2 years. As its been that long since I last looked. You can get some used bargains. mine was £900 instead of the new price of £3,500.

havent watched broadcast tv since i got it, apart from the olympics and some mewsnight and questiont time. hmmn.

I dont even have the sounds set up properly yet as im moving in a few weeks so only running 3.0 system not 5.1 as i cant be bothered wiring it all up. But the massive screen is truly awesome.

What i can recommend it The 4400 on netflix. dont know if it was ever show nhere, but am up to series 3 and loving it. Great stories and the on,y things lets it down is sometime the leading mans charatcter is a bit of a nob for an FBI agent. BUut i suppose some FBI agents are nobs in real life.

Doctor Who - Pond Life

BBC Wales film Dr Who in and around our town every year. My youngest still thinks it's real and that the Doctor just lives around here.

I guess that's nicer than knowing the whole thing's made up.

D'awwwww!!

Shhh. Don't tell Cojak.

That's Dr Who out then. ( 7:20 tonight btw ).

It's a real shame. New Tricks, Doctor Who and Dragon's Den are about the only things I've watched on telly in the past ten years. I quite like all the characters, especially Brian Lane played by Alun Armstrong, and the writing's always been good. Now they seem to be imploding under the weight of their own egos.

I feel profoundly sorry for you if that's all you've watched in the last 10 years. I dont watch anything off the BBC as its leftist nonsense. So pretty much all the tv I watch is American. You could have been watching 24, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Nikita, Rome, Spartacus, Stargate Atlantis, Strikeback, Supernatural, The walking dead, True Blood. And those are just ones off the top of my head.

Get out there, and switch off the states indoctrination channels.

I never watch the TV at all. I just read Google News to see what is going on,Watch YouTube and the odd video I buy in the Charity Shops.

I can't think of what I last watched on BBC1 or ITV1 in recent weeks. Mostly, we're on E4 and Film4 - which our cable provider started piping at the start of the year. (Ten years ago, we had just BBC Prime and BBC World in English - very dire).

[nomadd]

Yes, they look good. Bit pricey, though.

Edit: I've changed my mind after watching one of the previews! That Joy of Maths (sorry "Math" - it's American) looked well dodgy!

I think you'll find the language of Mathematics is universal.

Oh, and always wait for the course to go on Sale before buying. They all do throughout the year, and the savings are huge (like this The Great Courses - Queen of the Sciences: A History of Mathematics)
